Exploring Mindsets, Beliefs and Resilience Across the Cancer Experience

2.5-hour mHealth intervention consisting of three modules containing brief films and corresponding interactive reflection activities aimed to improves whole patient health (physical, social, emotional, and functional quality of life as measured by the FACT-G) in patients undergoing systemic treatment for cancer with curative intent. Films feature interviews with people living with cancer describing their experience with diagnosis, treatment, and recovery, and the importance of their mindsets during their experience. The films also feature Stanford faculty with expertise in oncology, psychiatry, and psychology who offer a scientific framework for the importance of mindsets during cancer treatment and provide examples from their clinical practices. The reflection exercises that follow the films are designed to help patients craft a personalized strategy (a) for changing maladaptive mindsets and maintaining adaptive ones and (b) for translating ideas from the film into actionable behavior

This behavioral intervention provides educational information on coping strategies for individuals undergoing cancer treatment through a hybrid of videos and corresponding questions.
